A man hit a Christian and he died, so is there anything required of him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : I was involved in a traffic accident that resulted in the death of the other car's driver, and the traffic department assigned me one hundred percent of the fault. Since the driver who died was a Christian from Sri Lanka, what is required of me according to the Shari'ah?
You owe the blood money, as is apparent, and you owe the expiation of freeing a slave. If you cannot find one, then you must fast for two consecutive months.
